Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs metal roofing across Aurora, from Paramount Theatre on Stolp Island to Fox River and the RiverEdge Park amphitheater. Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois and the largest in Kane County, and its roofs run the full spectrum because its housing does. Downtown around Stolp Island and the Tanner district you have brick and frame homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, many with steep gable and dormer rooflines and original wood decking. Out on the Far East Side off Route 59 and Eola Road you have subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s whose first-generation builder-grade shingles are now failing on schedule. We replace both, and we price each one for what it actually needs.
Aurora sits in the Fox River valley, where cold air settles overnight and stretches freeze-thaw cycles longer than on higher ground. River-valley humidity feeds heavy ice dams on the shaded north slopes of older East Side homes. Summer brings the same hail and 60-plus mph derecho gusts that hit the rest of Kane County, and west-facing roofs along open farmland on the far east side take the brunt of straight-line wind with no tree cover to slow it.
What a standing-seam metal roof includes
Every Metal Roofing job in Aurora includes:
24-Gauge Standing Seam
Our most-installed metal system for Wheaton and Glen Ellyn homes. Concealed-clip panels with 1.5-inch or 1.75-inch seams, mechanically or snap-locked, in 24-gauge steel. No exposed fasteners on the field means nothing to back out or leak over 30-plus freeze-thaw winters.
Exposed-Fastener Panel Roofs
A budget-friendlier option, often used on detached garages, porches, pole barns, and outbuildings around Aurora and Lisle. We install 26-gauge through-fastened panels with EPDM-washer screws driven to correct torque so the gaskets seal without crushing.
Standing Seam Over Low-Slope Sections
Many local ranches and mid-century homes have low-pitch porch and addition roofs below 3/12. We spec mechanically seamed panels with sealant in the seam, rated for the low slopes that snap-lock systems can't safely cover in our snow load.
Metal Over Complex Hips and Valleys
Newer Naperville subdivision roofs are full of hips, dormers, and dead valleys. We custom-bend valley pans, hip caps, and headwall flashing in-house on our brake so every transition is watertight, not patched with caulk.
Full Tear-Off and Deck Repair
We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted or delaminated sheathing, and install a high-temp synthetic or peel-and-stick underlayment rated for metal before a single panel goes down. Crews are ours, never subcontracted.
